Open /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 with a hex editor and change the string "libGL.so.1.2" to "libGL.so.1". Restart X if necessary. fgl_glxgears should work now.

Spooky

this seems the soname error bug. try to see if you have the /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 file. if not symlink this to the /usr/lib/opengl/ati/lib/libGL.so.1.2.
this should fix it without the hex editing or the ldpath.

for what i know fgl_fglxgears is a little bugged. so try using the normal glxgears which is the one included in xorg.
in my case i go from 180fps with fgl to 800 fps with glxgears with ultrastable settings and to 1900fps with ultrabreaking settings.
i preffer the ultra stable since with beryl i get the same 700-800 fps when using them and get only 450-500 fps when using the ultrabreaking ones.

Hi, in my case the files are already linked. I am using the 64 bit version of the OS (openSUSE) so in my case I am talking about /usr/X11R6/lib64

/usr/lib links to lib64. if you do a ls -l /usr | grep lib you'll see this.

anyway, i should have expected that since that's the only ati supported distro.
anyway i've never experienced problems of that kind with it. i'll have to retry that and see if i get the same error on my opensuse box.
